Founded in 1805, based on the site of Subsistances since 2007, the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (Lyon Ensba) is a public artistic institution of higher education accredited by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. Conceived as a laboratory for research and experimentation, deliberately open on contemporary artistic realities, it aims to train artists, designers and creators. Connecting with the forms and current issues of creation, it is aimed more broadly to the emergence of singular talents and produces the conditions for research and a high level of professionalism in art, design and creation.   The Ensba Lyon offers major options that structure the field of art education in France, with several courses in art and design. Training provided over a two cycles: a first cycle of three years with a first general year and leading to the DNAP (National Diploma in Visual Arts) in art and space design and DNAT (National Diploma of Arts and Technology) in graphic design and textile design; a second cycle of two further years leading to DNSEP (Higher National Diploma of Plastic Expression) - Master in art and graphic design and space design. Beyond the graduate, the school offers a one year international postgraduate to young artists and a third three-year cycle to young scientists and artists-researchers, leading to DSRA (advanced degree research art). The third cycle is backed by the two research units: ACTH, Contemporary art and story time, and DatAData dedicated to contemporary aesthetic issues raised by digital cultures.
